Manually assigning new accounts to the right owner in Salesforce slows down sales teams and leads to missed opportunities. This automation uses Parabola to identify unassigned accounts, apply routing logic, and automatically update ownership in Salesforce.
- Pull account and opportunity data from Salesforce
Import all active accounts and related opportunities to identify which records require owner assignment. - Filter for accounts needing assignment
Remove duplicates and exclude accounts that already have an assigned Account Manager (AM) or owner. - Apply routing logic
Use rules-based logic to determine which AM or sales rep should be assigned based on criteria like region, deal size, or account status. - Combine with user data for matching
Match each unassigned account to the appropriate user record to prepare for ownership updates. - Send ownership updates to Salesforce
Push the finalized account-owner mappings back into Salesforce to complete the assignment process automatically.
